The Dover MP labelled the current government as 'chaotic'
Conservative MP Natalie Elphicke has defected to Labour and labelled Rishi Sunak's government as 'chaotic'.
Ms Elphicke was elected as Dover's Conservative MP in 2019. The seat was previously held by her disgraced then-husband Charlie, who was jailed for two years after being found guilty in 2020 of sexually assaulting two women.After crossing the floor, Ms Elphicke said: “I have carefully considered this decision. The change has been dramatic and cannot be ignored. For me key deciding factors have been housing and the safety and security of our borders.
It marks the second recent defection to Labour following Dan Poulter's decision to also leave the party less than two weeks ago. “Since then, many things have changed. The elected Prime Minister was ousted in a coup led by the unelected Rishi Sunak. Under Rishi Sunak, the Conservatives have become a byword for incompetence and division.
